OneHorizyn and Lighthouse, side by side

Both read what booking sites charge, and both check what AI assistants say about a hotel. Lighthouse also sets and sends prices, sells rooms and runs reservations, with forecasts and reports for groups. OneHorizyn reads what guests see, across booking sites, Google and Maps, reviews, your website and AI assistants, and connects to nothing.

Lighthouse's own pages read on , and again every quarter.

Who Lighthouse is

Lighthouse is a hotel data and pricing software company, called OTA Insight until 9 November 2023. It sells to hotels of every size, from independent hotels to groups and chains, and to companies that buy hotel data.
